Court case
In another development, Israel's Justice Ministry said a prominent Palestinian militant, Ahmed Saadat, who was seized last month in a raid on the Palestinian jail in Jericho, would not be put on trial for the killing of an Israeli Cabinet minister in 2001. He is to be charged in a military court with other security offenses, the ministry said.
Attorney General Menachem Mazuz found that an inquiry had not produced enough evidence to put Saadat on trial in the killing of Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi, who was shot in a Jerusalem hotel.
